Exactly. I don't see much value in investing a lot of time and effort
in something that's already working well. If someone has a complaint
about the way the process for packaging and bundling releases is
working, then let's hear it (on a separate thread!), but all of the
discussions that we've had on this thread are about making sure that
we set time lines and expectations early, stick to them, and resolve
issues that come up in a timely fashion. Those are basically all
process issues, and I don't see much value in throwing one technical
task into the mix.
